H e l l o  Beaconeers...
   The 480 kHz Beacon is back on the air at 100W as of 8 May 2006
i just replaced the main High Voltage Transformer, i still have some HV 
arcing. Must be the altitude.
It has been running 50W since 2/10/06 until now.
   The Beacon is sending 'RW' in CW at 20 wpm on 480 kHz, (625 Meters) from 
Colorado Springs.
   Night time transmissions are 15 seconds long repeating every minute from 
0100z to 0500z. 
   Now you can check out that new Beverage antenna, (QST, April 2006, p.33), 
by listening for the RW Beacon.
   Please send SWL QSL's to:
